Heh. It was awesome for my social life, that's for sure. It would have been even better for me had the whole job situation worked out. Water under the bridge, though. I'm reallllllllly happy with work stuff now even if it isn't remotely close to Hell-A (and I use the term endearingly).

(Nah, I used to live in LA. Sniff! Still miss it from time to time, in a way that you might pick at a scab -- you know it's bad for you, yet you do it anyway because there's some bizarre satisfaction to be had.)

raisin are you an LA bustie?
venice is kinda a hike for me but....i could do it! re: length of time after getting license and insurance; i really don't know if they're very related at all, maryjo--i think it's mostly based on age and driving record. -------------------- jam out with your clam out

van gogh's ear in venice, raisingirl? hmm.....i'm game.
i got my license at 18...even though i had access to a car at 16...i just didn't want to bother with it. parking at the local highschool was a mess...i took mine thru surepass...dunno if the company is still around. -------------------- "If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance."

I need to get a CA licence soon... I can't afford a car yet, but US government-issued ID would make my life easier. I've been reading the CA driver's handbook for the written test... I didn't think about going to a quieter DMV for the practical, I'll probably end up at the one by USC.
Even though I have a UK licence, I want to take a couple of lessons here so that my first drive on the LA streets and freeways is with an instructor who can take control if I suddenly try to drive on the wrong side of the road.... do any of you know any instructors or good companies that maybe aren't hideously expensive? Oh, and another question. How long do you have to have had your driver's licence before car insurance becomes cheaper (if it ever does for noncitizens...)? I'm over 25 but I only got my UK licence in July. Would it be cheaper for me to get insurance if/when I get a car if I waited until I'd had a licence for a year? I realise that most Americans get theirs when they are 16, but I thought maybe you would know, grr_arrg? |

That's right!
I somehow forgot about that one! That's actually where I took the written, and most likely where I'll end up. (how did I forgot that??) I'll keep you updated:-) |

grr_arg, i didn't have to take a road test there but the one in hollywood (south of sunset, not the one north on vine, the other one...near cahuenga and melrose) is in a pretty empty residential area. might not be too bad.
good luck! -------------------- jam out with your clam out

QUOTE(maryjo @ Sep 25 2006, 03:00 PM)  I'm here... But not having a car, the freeways don't mean as much to me as they should.  I'm a non driver too maryjo...but hopefully not for long. since I always wind up doing things backwards, I have a car, now I just need to pass the drivers test! Anyone have any DMV recomendations by the way? Like, which one do you think the test would be best at...like, NOT downtown. I was thinking of heading over the hill and taking it in the valley. I'd prefer a nice quite neighborhood to take it in. |

I'm here too, but down in San Diego. But I've still suffered the madness of 405 enough times to know
 SD's traffic is nothing to sneeze at anymore. Gone are the days of us haughtily laughing at the Angelenos for sitting on the 405... we're too busy stuck on the 15. -------------------- ~I'm so tired of being tired As sure as night will follow day Most things I worry about Never happen anyway~ |

just cuz we call it 'the 405' doesn't mean a thing to us....we could spend hours there and not go anywhere. -------------------- "If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance."

QUOTE(mouse @ Aug 21 2006, 10:45 AM) hey grr_arg, if you're still around, let me know what you end up deciding to do. i think we have mutual friends, cos i ended up running into an old roommate and the gold room came up, and she mentioned your story before i had a chance to. i still think a sit-in or other protest act might be dangerous there, though...... You're right, the more I think about it, the more I realizt the potential for danger. But I feel sick about not doing anything about it. So far all I've done is just kinda tried to spread the word around a bit. And that's wierd about your old roommate, now I'm raking my brian, wondering who you're talking about! |

aw yay!
yeah bpal will have a booth and fyi, i have a feeling that chinatown is going to be PACKED, and if it's anywhere as bad as pee-wee was (and i'm pretty sure it will be) GET THERE EARLY. i mean EARLY, i mean like 6:30 and wait in line in your car on santa monica bl while you wait for them to open the gates. we did that for pee wee and by the time we got inside there were no decent blanket spots left, taken up by those who had come on foot. -------------------- jam out with your clam out
